Chapter 125 Something is coming
Yuan Wang was startled and looked in the direction Long Xiaoxiao pointed. He saw that there were several small birds perched on the branches watching them.
But if it were just a bird, Long Xiaoxiao should have just said "bird". Why did she say "small animal"?
Just as Yuan Wang was feeling a bit confused, she glanced to the side and was immediately startled. A bright green venomous snake was coiled on a nearby branch, only a few meters away from them, flicking its tongue at them.
Sensing Yuan Wang's nervousness, Long Xiaoxiao turned to look at him and gently reassured him, "Don't be afraid, sister, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Wang realized that he was carrying a 'protective charm' with him. His previous tension vanished instantly. He looked down at Long Xiaoxiao, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Yes, with Xiaoxiao here, I'm not afraid."
After saying that, Yuan Wang led Long Xiaoxiao deeper into the dense forest, picked up some wood, and then planned to turn back.
Long Xiaoxiao looked around. With her there, Yuan Wang's safety was not a concern, so the two walked quickly, not afraid of stepping on any unknown creatures.
They were lucky; they avoided the areas teeming with poisonous insects along the way and returned unharmed.
When the two returned to the original location, they saw the male guest piling up the wood and taking a thin stick to start a fire by rubbing it together. However, he was clearly not making much progress. Lu Shuyao and Fang Xiaoxiao were squatting next to the tent materials, seemingly exchanging tips in hushed tones.
Hearing Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao's footsteps, everyone turned to look at them and immediately greeted them, "You're back!"
Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao nodded and put the collected wood into the woodpile. After looking at it for a while, Yuan Wang turned to Lu Shuyao and looked at the tent materials in front of him.
“I’ll do it,” Yuan Wang said, rolling up his sleeves and reaching towards the tent.
Lu Shuyao and Fang Xiaoxiao awkwardly stepped aside, but feeling guilty, they stepped forward and said, "It's okay, I'll do it too. Sister Yuan, you can teach me."
Yuan Wang did not refuse, but nodded with a faint smile and said, "Okay, watch me demonstrate first."
Yuan Wang moved swiftly and efficiently, setting up a tent in no time, and it was very sturdy.
Lu Shuyao and Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
Long Xiaoxiao squatted quietly next to Liu Shu and Bai Lun, watching them take turns drilling into the wood below with thin sticks. After a long while, she couldn't help but tilt her head and ask, "What are you doing?"
Bai Lun gave a wry smile: "We need to start a fire, but the production team didn't provide a lighter."
Long Xiaoxiao nodded blankly, looked down at the two unchanging pieces of wood in front of her, and asked sincerely, "How long will it take?"
The two fell silent, looked at each other, and hesitated about whether to steal the staff member's lighter.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Long Xiaoxiao looked up and thought for a moment before mentally asking for help from the system: "Uncle, I want to become famous."
The system heard this, browsed through the system store, and when it got to the page on interstellar weapons, an idea suddenly came to it: "Xiaoxiao, I'll get you something new and interesting."
Something new? Long Xiaoxiao wondered.
The system spent some faith points to buy that item and then delivered it to Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a tingling, numb sensation in her fingertips. When she looked down, she saw a red dot on her fingertip, like a bright red mole.
"Xiaoxiao, point the finger with the red dot at the wood, and then tense your fingertip," the system said.
Long Xiaoyu stretched out her finger and aimed it at the wood.
Bai Lun and Liu Shu, who were exchanging glances about the likelihood of stealing a staff member's lighter, immediately noticed Long Xiaoxiao's actions. Thinking she was urging them to continue, they opened their mouths to speak, "Xiao..."
flutter--
A flame pierced through Long Xiaoxiao's fingertip, and a few seconds later, the flames spread to the wood, burning brighter and brighter.
"...?"
The cameraman also saw what was happening and involuntarily widened his eyes, looking at Long Xiaoxiao in surprise, almost unable to hold the camera steady.
Liu Shu and Bai Lun, standing to the side, looked at the fire and then at Long Xiaoxiao. After going back and forth like this three or four times, they finally accepted the fact.
"Little..." Bai Lun swallowed hard. "You, you can breathe fire?"
"Is this what a deity is?" Bai Lun was bewildered.
Other staff members were also watching them, and at this moment all turned their attention to Long Xiaoxiao, their admiration evident in their eyes.
Long Xiaoxiao was also a little surprised. She scratched her head, not knowing how to explain, and finally just smiled foolishly: "Hehe."
Such laughter seemed incongruous with her divine status, but those around her did not feel any sense of incongruity.
Immortals are wise in disguise, and Long Xiaoxiao is a true immortal! She lives in seclusion and appears no different from ordinary people, but in reality, her cultivation is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The system smiled slightly as it watched the faith value increase.
After the campfire was set up, the tents were almost all pitched: one large tent and four small tents. Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao moved into the large tent.
After solving the basic problems, everyone was exhausted and sweating profusely. They sat in front of their respective tents, watching the flickering campfire.
They had picked some berries when they went out, but berries weren't very filling, and they soon got hungry. Everyone clutched their stomachs and looked distressed.
Moreover, the climate here is hot and humid. Although it's much better than the hottest time of the year, and everyone is wearing light clothing, it's still difficult to fall asleep.
As night fell, the only remaining source of light seemed to be the flames in front of them. The surrounding darkness made them uneasy, as if something was lurking nearby.
This illusion made everyone uneasy. Even though they knew the production crew was nearby and that someone would come to their rescue if anything happened, they still couldn't fall asleep in this unsafe area full of unknowns.
Long Xiaoxiao was excited. Although she had lived in the wild before, she had never lived in a tent. This small and private space was exactly what a child's perfect secret base was like. So Long Xiaoxiao ran in and out of the tent, circling around it, her eyes full of joy.
As the night grew deeper, even those who found it difficult to fall asleep had no choice but to crawl into their tents, enduring hunger and unease as they closed their eyes.
Yuan Wang waved to Long Xiaoxiao, signaling her to go into the tent. The production crew also paused filming and returned to their accommodation to rest.
Although Long Xiaoxiao hadn't had enough fun yet, she still stood up and walked towards Yuan Wang.
Before she could even reach Yuan Wang, Long Xiaoxiao stopped abruptly as if she had noticed something, her brows furrowed and her expression serious.
"Sister, be careful, something's coming."
